Hadoop archives - HarFileSystem / HadoopArchives

Question

Hadoop V1 java api had HarFileSystem1 class to archive and access small files in hdfs. I want to use the same feature in current version of hadoop, but cannot find any FileSystem class for the same in the current docs2. How do I do it using java API?

The command line interface has hadoop archive command to do it. Hadoop CLI is a bash script that uses org.apache.hadoop.tools.HadoopArchives for the archive command. But there is no info in docs as to how to use this class.

Thanks.

It's not much but if you import org.apache.hadoop.fs.HarFileSystem you can use it and at least look at the java doc in your IDE. FileSystem harFS = HarFileSystem.get(URI.create("/"), conf); – Renny
